Review | Swissvita Anti Aging Serum

What it is :

It's an anti-aging serum that gets rid of sagging, dull and ugly skin because of powerful ingredients in the serum (AC-11, B12, and progelene.)
Where to find:Swissvita Anti aging Serum


What it claims:

  • AC-11®, it also contains Vitamin B12 improves moisture retention of the skin, keeping it moisturized and hydrated. 
  • PROGELENE is filled with actives and peptides which promote structural remodeling of the skin. It clinically reduces the signs of aging by improving skin's firmness and elasticity.
  • It's gentle enough for all skin types.

This anti aging serum is perfect for:
    • Diminishing fine lines
    • Firming and lifting skin
    • Reducing dark spots
    • Preventing wrinkles
    • Improving overall skin texture

What it did for me :

I received this item for free/discount to give an unbiased and honest review. I was not paid or compensated to review the product. My review is based upon my experience while using this product. It did help my skin feel and look more hydrated. I don't think it really did much to fix my texture, I believe I need more time or something that is stronger to help with scars, as well as, with small bumps on my skin.  However, it did help with the discoloration on my skin and make my skin look a little less red.I've used it for about a month and I do like this serum , as well as the fact that it dries on the skin quickly. I have acne prone skin even as an adult but I'm not oily, so I think this worked very nice on my skin and it didn't feel heavy at all. I do like that is helped even out my skin tone significantly. I would recommend this because it didn't break me out , it seems to be great for all skin types.

Review | New York Biology Anti Cellulite Massage Oil


What it is: 

It's a blend of oils that applied correctly will help with the appearance of cellulite on parts of the body.
 Where to find it: Anti Cellulite Oil
I received this Item at a discounted price in exchange for my review BUT all views are 100% my own! 

 What it claims: 
ANTI CELLULITE OIL helps break down fat cells in those problem areas such as hips, thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Unlike cellulite cream it absorbs into the skin immediately and attacks those unwanted fat tissues.
*It is NOT tested on animals and it's made in the USA!

What it did for me:
       I want to start off with that I didn't know what to expect. I know that nothing really removes marks, but I know some products  can definitely help reduce the appearance of them. I went in not expecting much results from this product.  
    I couldn't share pictures of my skin on the areas where I used the oil because it didn't take away the cellulite after a month but it has helped me in other ways . It is really oily, so when you squirt it on your hands you can see the greenish tinge (grape seed oil) beware when dispensing the product, because it shoots out fast. So the base is grape seed oil, but it also has eucalyptus, lemon and grapefruit oils. I used it for about a month and I will say it has helped the hydration of my skin so it looks more supple, but I didn't feel a tingle or like it toned my body. I'm also a thicker girl trying to loose weight so maybe if you don't have so much "meat" it might work better on you ;P  

I will continue to use, maybe in my update I will include pictures next month. 

Much love,

Review | Keyboard Wrist Rest Pad



What it is:

This is a mouse and keyboard resting pads or cushions that help KEEP YOUR WRISTS IN NEUTRAL POSITION, ensuring proper hand position while typing..etc. 

****I received this item for free in exchange for an honest review.


What they claim:

  1. Built To Last 
  2. ensuring proper hand position while typing- 
  3. Made from High-Quality Foam Lightweight-yet-durable construction for years of use 
  4. Non-skid backing holds pad firmly in place 




What it did for me:

     As you know from my previous posts, I suffer from carpal tunnel. I'm a beauty blogger, makeup artist, skin specialist, mom, super woman...etc. Being all these things requires me to use my hands more often than I am able too. When I blog or work on the computer it use to be so painful. I use to have pads for the mouse but NEVER did I have one for the keyboard. I was so surprised to see how much these items helped relieve my pain! I've never felt so good after typing a long heartfelt post ;)

     Along with my Pain away essential oil and my specific hand massages , my hands have been feeling amazing. My hands are not longer cramping up through out the day and my right hand isn't in this constant dull pain. I will be posting a little bit about how to alleviate the pain  carpal tunnel syndrome can cause. I can go more into depth for tips on how to alleviate carpal tunnel symptoms in a future post. I hope I was able to give you some insight.

Much love xo

Review | Slimming Suzzie Wraps




I received this product for free in exchange for my honest product review.
Where to find : Slimming Suzie wraps on Amazon
******Something happened as I tried to upload BEFORE AND AFTER pics, they were corrupt so I will attempt to upload again tomorrow. I will not edit them but I will crop and resize them to fit the post.

What it is:
This is a wrap you put on your body to 
  • DETOXIFICATION PROCESS HELPS IMPROVE BODY METABOLISM While Toning and Tightening the Skin.

What it claims:
  • USED BY STARS AND MODELS ALL OVER THE WORLD! #1 BEST Body Wrap, Achieve Spa Quality Results. A 5 Application Supply Can Effectively Contour Your Body and Diminish Cellulite & Stretch Marks.
  • VISIBLE RESULTS IN ONE APPLICATION-100% Natural Ingredients-Stop Exposing your Body to Even More Chemicals and Pollutants-Try a Body Wrap with Only Top Quality Pro-Active Natural Ingredients.
  • SLIMMING SUZIE HAS INGREDIENTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY ONLY AVAILABLE IN SALONS. Your Body is Full of Metabolic Waste that has Accumulated from an Unhealthy Diet, Cosmetics and the Environment.

What it did for me: 
I did receive these wraps in exchange for my honest review.
I liked the wraps after three uses I saw a difference in my skin texture and in the color of my stretch marks. I know it's meant to use on the belly but I used 2 wraps on my lower belly and the other three on my arms (by cutting each wrap in half and placing half on each arm.n) After having my son , my arms took a toll- they look like bat wings filled with cellulite and stretch marks. This wrap did help diminish the appearance of the stretch marks and cellulite. I will say that these wraps are a little bit small for me. They didn't cover a lot of area. I found it confusing that in different places I read that wait 3 days and somewhere else I read 36 hours. I think this is a great wrap but if you need a lot of help like me, you're definitely going to need 10+ wraps. Five isn't going to do it unless you need only a LITTLE help to tone and repair skin. They also already come infused with the ingredients you don't have to apply and extra product. So there will be less of a mess!

Definitely drink a lot of water because this wrap does help you detoxify! More info/pics : beellanca.blogspot.com
Overall, I think they're great for the price and I would recommend them if you need a little help or a kickstart to detoxifying the body. I will update with more pictures .

Review | Valentia Fresh Mist Calming Toner


I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.Views are 100% my own.
Where to find itValentia Fresh Mist Calming Toner on Amazon

What it is:
     It's a toner that is meant to be used after cleansing and before serums to help purify, hydrate and balance the skin's ph level.

What it claims:
  • It has pure and refreshing Nano Structured Water enriched with magnesium helps to balance skin's delicate pH level, for more even and clear looking skin.

  •  With the powerful enzyme duo of ALA and AHA, your skin gets both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits to support skin health and calm skin irritation.
What it did for me:
     I love all of the Valentia skin care products! This one is amazing because it is meant to balance the skin's ph level and minimize enlarged pores, it has vitamin C to refresh the skin, witch hazel ( an astringent) that helps seal in moisture and tea tee oil which helps keep skin clear of blemishes. It also has ALA + AHA , an enzyme duo that helps provide anti-inflammatory effects to the skin.

As always all their products are meant to repair , refresh and renew . This product is no exception it keeps my skin hydrated and clear. I also love the way it mists instead of just being a squirt of product. It replaced my Kiehls ginseng mist. I honestly love the scent and feel of this product on my skin! I use it as directed and also through out the day to refresh my skin as I wear makeup often.

Review | Prefer Beauty 3 stainless steel tweezers





    I lost one of the three HAHAHAH , maybe my husband forgot to "return it" lol ;)

What they are:

  • Tweezer Set Includes 1x Slant, 1x Pointed, 1x Square Tweezers & A Carry Case.
Where to find it : Tweezers Set


What they claim: 
  •  The Slant Tweezers Are Perfect for Taming Those Bushy Brows in Minutes! They are good for applying falsies too. It's also a Perfect Tool For men to take out all Unwanted Hair in The Nose, Cheeks, or Ears.

What I think:

 I believe these are the Multipurpose Pointed Tweezers that  will help you   Accurately Reach and Remove every single hair like a PRO! The Square Tweezer Will Make It Possible To Tweeze a large area, and the slanted will help you tame your brows. I use to never do my brows and now this set is making it easy for me to upkeep my brow shape. At first, it took me some time to learn how to maneuver the tweezers, also they were so sharp tat I kept splitting my hairs. If you're use to plucking you'll be fine because now I have no trouble but before I wasn't really experienced in grooming my own brows.

Brow tutorial coming soon? YASSSS!!!!

Review | Volúm Lashes Natural Authentic Mink False Eyelashes






About the Lashes:
  • Natural Dramatic Lashes: Increase the length and curl of your lashes naturally for any occasion
  • Thin, comfortable, yet durable band allows multiple uses with proper care
  • 100% Authentic Cruelty-Free North American Mink Fur: Stunning mink lashes resemble human hair
  • Long Lasting Lashes: Mink fur lasts up to 5 times longer than synthetic lashes.
  •  Approximately 550 Individual Lashes in every box hand-crafted onto each band
  • These retail for $9.99 on Amazon

Where to Find them: Volùm Lashes Authentic Eyelashes

I really liked these lashes, I was excited to try them out because it also said cruelty free mink lashes on the website. When I received the lashes, I wore them about 11 times before I did the video review. They're still as good as new! I was so happy about this because sometimes lash companies claim an unrealistic expectation of the longevity of their lashes. However, this one didn't specifically state anything, only 5x longer than synthetic lashes. Which is very true , in the picture above would be the 12th time I wore the lashes.  As I was filming I noticed the box said made in China. It didn't specifically say if the lashes were made in China or if the lash container is...etc. So I'm not 100% sure about what to think about this. Just to clarify---> Nothing against China, it's just their regulations on beauty are different from here in the United States. I really do love the style of lashes and I do get a lot of compliments when I wear them! I hope the store will carry more styles of lashes. As for now I only see this particular pair!
